EuropeanIssuers Capital Markets Webinar Series 2023
With the signing of the Taxonomy Regulation into European law, a new set of requirements has impacted companies and other market participants significantly, opening a new season for sustainable finance regulation. The Taxonomy Regulation, with its subsequent Delegated Acts, will channel investment towards sustainable companies and projects, and will thus represent a significant opportunity for companies across Europe, but will undoubtedly present several challenges.
In a highly-anticipated move, the European Commission made public the draft Taxonomy Delegated Act covering the four remaining environmental objectives in April 2023, with the final adoption foreseen in June.
This webinar will debate how companies, banks and investors are preparing to adapt to the new rules, what are the main challenges currently facing the business, and it will also allow for a concrete discussion with policy-makers on how to best implement the latest Delegated Act.
Moderator: Lé Quang Tran Van, Director for Financial Affairs, AFEP
Speakers:
Julia Dieckmann, Head of Sustainable Finance Policy, Deutsche Bank
Jérôme de la Tousche, EU Public Affairs Officer, Sustainable Finance, Michelin
Andrei Gurin, Policy Officer, DG FISMA, European Commission

The Capital Markets Union (CMU) is a plan to create a single market for capital. The aim is to get money – investments and savings – flowing across the EU so that it can benefit consumers, investors and companies, regardless of where they are located.
SMEs are the backbone of the EU economy and are the key drivers of economic growth, employment, innovation, and tax revenue in Europe. Funding is required in order to fuel and accelerate their growth. European capital markets play an important role in this, but they are not working optimally.
Moving forward, last December, the European Commission published a package of proposals aiming to simplify the documentation that companies need to list on public markets and streamline the scrutiny processes by national supervisors. Thereby speeding up and reducing the costs of the listing process whenever possible, simplifying and clarify some market abuse requirements, without compromising market integrity. The goal is to help companies be more visible to investors, by encouraging more investment research, especially for small and medium sized companies. Will those proposals be sufficient to reverse the shrinking of the European share ofthe global IPO market?
